今天，美国对17名沙特阿拉伯人实施制裁，因他们严重侵犯人权，参与了10月2日在沙特阿拉伯王国驻土耳其伊斯坦布尔领事馆对贾迈勒·卡舒吉（Jamal Khashoggi）的杀害。该制裁在13818号行政命令的授权下进行的，这一行政命令的实施基础是《全球马格尼茨基人权问责法》。

由于这一制裁，所有这些人在美国司法管辖区内的资产都被冻结，美国人一般被禁止与他们进行交易。在卡舒吉被害时，这些人担任皇家法院和沙特阿拉伯政府的数个部委和办公室职位。

《全球马格尼茨基法案》授权美国采取重大步骤，在世界各地保护和促进人权及进行反腐败斗争。

Today, the United States imposed sanctions on seventeen Saudi Arabian individuals for serious human rights abuse resulting from their roles in the killing of Jamal Khashoggi at the Consulate of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul, Turkey, on October 2. This action was taken under the authority of Executive Order 13818, which implements and builds upon the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act. As a result of this action, all of these individuals’ assets within U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them. At the time of Khashoggi’s killing, these individuals occupied positions in the Royal Court and several ministries and offices of the Government of Saudi Arabia. 

The Global Magnitsky Act empowers the United States to take significant steps to protect and promote human rights and combat corruption around the world.
